    After making the Hot Cocoa in a Jar, we still had a bit leftover candy canes, and the boys wanted to make cookies after having a great day at school.

    Jack went and grabbed the candy canes while Luke helped me compile the ingredients. Luke then said he wanted chocolate cookies, so we decided to add some cocoa and chocolate chips. I was in shock since Luke isn't big on sweets, but we chose to go with the flow.

    No one was harmed in the process of making these cookies, but needless to say, we were occupied in making the cookies and never decided on dinner. We did have dessert covered, though.

    What is the definition of Candy Canes?

    Per Wikipedia, a candy cane is a cane-shaped stick candy often associated with Christmastide and Saint Nicholas Day. It is traditionally white with red stripes and flavored with peppermint, but they also come in a variety of other flavors and colors.

    We were even kind enough to share some with our neighbors. However, the ones we kept only lasted three days. These were Luke's favorite cookies that we have made. He has been asking now for us to make more.

    Notes

    You can add more candy canes if you would like a more peppermint taste, but this made them not overpowering with just the right amount we felt like.
